My display doesn’t have any output, it’s a 1602A and it’s connected to the correct ports.

This is my logs

Someone help me please

3

I don’t believe you can use fonts with lcd_pcf8574. I believe you’re stuck with the built in ones.

4

If it’s a 16x2 display why have you defined it as a 20x4 display in the code? Possibly that is one issue?

Also what Nick said, no TTF fonts with this style of LCD display. You can define 8 custom characters, this is described in the docs for your display.

6

Could you explain this to me?

7

I was using a different display before, that’s why I have these fonts in the code

8

The 1602A is 16 characters by 2 lines, thus:

display:
  - platform: lcd_pcf8574
    dimensions: 16x2
    address: 0x27
    id: lcd
    update_interval: 1s 
    lambda: |-
      it.print(0,0,"Hello World");

The custom characters?

Lastly, have you turned the backlight on? You should be able to read the text regardless…

9

I tried with the 16x2 dimension, this different dimension was one of my tests.

10

I didn’t use those fonts, I used them on another display.

11

Can you post a photo of the back of your display model, connected to the ESP?

12

And the full logs.

Having re-read your config file, I see you aren’t using the ttf font. Nevertheless the font file will take up space on the esp. try removing them.

I managed to solve it, it was necessary to adjust a component in the converter to input sda, scl

So you wrongly reported this, which I assumed to be true. Assumption, the mother of f ups.

Hello! I have the same issue, can you explain how you solved it? Thanks.

You responded to the post where he described how he fixed it. Please play attention.
